Customise Your Prompt with Starship

12 January, 2023
Customize your command prompt with Starship. Follow our guide to personalize your prompt and enhance your terminal experience with ease

Install

curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh

& add the following to ~/.bashrc

eval "$(starship init bash)"

You can also find installation instructions for other operating systems here: https://starship.rs/guide

Config

You can now completely customise your prompt by editing the config file, which is accessible via:

starship config

alternatively, you can use presets from https://starship.rs/presets/

I prefer Starship’s default minimal style, so I don’t use any presets or have anything in my config file.
